CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Becoming a man to avoid becoming a statistic – Mark Brown (DIERSEN: What did you do with your summer when you were 16? During the summer of 1965, I worked full-time for the minimum wage at S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights washing dishes and doing some stock boy work. I drove my 1958 Chevy BelAir, I lived with my parents and brother in Crete, and I saved virtually everything that earned for college expenses and for a new car.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The young man had been asked to rate his summer on a scale of 1 to 10 and then to explain his reasoning in a single sentence. “I rate my summer a 10 because I lived through the summer,” said Ricky, a 16-year-old student at Morgan Park High School.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would say to me “I know Meena Jagadeesan, and you are no Meena Jagadeesan.” They would stress that when I turned 18 years old 50 years ago, that I was a lowly part-time gasoline pumper at John’s Sinclair in South Chicago Heights, that I was a lowly full-time student at UIC, and that I lived with my parents and brother in Crete.)

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Planning underway locally for Illinois’ 200th birthday – John Reynolds (DIERSEN: How long have your ancestors lived in Illinois? My ancestors have lived in northeast Illinois since the 1840s. How long have you lived in Illinois, in your county, in your township/ward, in your municipality, and in your precinct? I have lived in Illinois since 1948, in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton since 1978, and in my precinct since 1984. I should write a book about those in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton who viciously demonize me, who viciously denigrate me, and who viciously condemn me as being a newcomer and as someone who will forever be a newcomer. They stress that in DuPage County, in Milton Township, or in Wheaton, I have never attended any schools, that I have never been a member of any church, that I have never been employed, and that I have never raised any children .)
